Xbox insider Jez Corden recently revealed on the Xbox Two podcast that State of Decay 3 is now slated for a 2026 release. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden suggests the release has shifted to early 2026.
He assures fans that development is significantly further along than previously perceived, although specifics remain undisclosed. This news may disappoint some, but it's a more optimistic timeline than earlier predictions of a 2027 release.
June's trailer offered a glimpse into the game's Mad Max-inspired post-apocalyptic setting, showcasing intense gun battles against hordes of zombies and showcasing unique vehicular combat.
State of Decay 3 takes place years after the initial apocalypse, focusing on human survivors building and defending settlements against the undead threat. The game is in development for PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles, with the last installment released in 2018.
